# Boeing must pay $29 crore to UN worker’s family in crash 2026-08-13T01:35:58+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A Chicago jury has ordered Boeing to pay $29 million (about Rs 24 crore) in damages to the family of an Irish-born United Nations employee who died in the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX crash, a US court spokesman said on Wednesday. The verdict comes as Boeing faces multiple lawsuits over the two fatal MAX crashes that killed 346 people. The award is separate from ongoing criminal and civil proceedings against the manufacturer. The UN worker was among 157 victims when flight ET 302 crashed shortly after takeoff from Addis Ababa in March 2019. The MAX fleet was grounded for 20 months after the twin disasters. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Tags: 737 MAX, aviation safety, Boeing, Ethiopian Airlines crash, jury verdict, product liability Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/boeing-must-pay-29-crore-to-un-workers-family-in-crash/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
